This chapter includes the following sections:
•Information About Port Profiles
•Guidelines and Limitations
•Configuring Port Profiles
•Feature History for Port Profiles
Information About Port Profiles
Port profiles simplify interface configuration by defining policies that can be reused for multiple interfaces. For more information about port profiles, see Chapter 1, "Overview."
Port Profile States
A port profile can be in one of two states: enabled or disabled. Port profiles are disabled by default. Table 2-1 describes port profile behavior in these two states.
To enable a port profile, see the "Enabling a Port Profile" procedure.
Table 2-1 Port Profile States
|
|
Disabled1 |
When disabled, a port profile behaves as follows: •Its configuration is not applied to assigned ports. •If exporting policies to a VMware port group, the port group is not created on the vCenter Server. |
Enabled |
When enabled, a port profile behaves as follows: •Its configuration is applied to assigned ports. •If inheriting policies from a VMware port group, the port group is created on the vCenter Server. |
Guidelines and Limitations
Use the following guidelines and limitations when configuring port profiles:
•Once a port profile is created as either an Ethernet or vEthernet type, you cannot change the type.
•Do not configure virtual port channel host mode (vPC-HM) on the Cisco Nexus 1000V if the upstream switches have vPC enabled. If vPC-HM is configured on the Cisco Nexus 1000V and vPC is configured on the upstream switch(es), the connection can be interrupted or disabled. For more information about vPC-HM, see the "Configuring Port Channels in Port Profiles" section on page 5-1.
•The Cisco Nexus 1000V software must be initially configured. For information, see the Cisco Nexus 1000V Getting Started Guide, Release 4.0(4)SV1(2).
•The Cisco Nexus 1000V must be connected to the vCenter Server.

Creating a Port Profile
You can use this procedure to create a new port profile.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Before beginning this procedure, you must know or do the following:
•You are logged in to the CLI in EXEC mode.
•You know whether the ports need to be initialized with system settings.
•You have identified the characteristics needed for this port profile.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. config t
2. port-profile [type {ethernet | vethernet}] name
3. (Optional) description profiledescription
4. show port-profile [brief | expand-interface | usage] [name profile-name]
5. copy running-config startup-config
DETAILED STEPS
|
|
|
Step 1 |
config t
Example: n1000v# config t n1000v(config)# |
Enters global configuration mode. |
Step 2 |
port-profile [type {ethernet | vethernet}] name
Example: n1000v(config)# port-profile type ethernet AllAccess1 n1000v(config-port-prof)# |
Enters port profile configuration mode for the named port profile. If the port profile does not already exist, it is created using the following characteristics: •name—The port profile name can be up to 80 characters and must be unique for each port profile on the Cisco Nexus 1000V. •type—(Optional) The port profile type can be Ethernet or vEthernet. Once configured, the type cannot be changed. The default is the vEthernet type. Defining a port profile type as Ethernet allows the port profile to be used for physical (Ethernet) ports. In the vCenter Server, the corresponding port group can be selected and assigned to physical ports (PNICs). Note If a port profile is configured as an Ethernet type, then it cannot be used to configure VMware virtual ports. |
Step 3 |
description profiledescription
Example: n1000v(config-port-prof)# description all_access n1000v(config-port-prof)# |
(Optional) Adds a description of up to 80 ASCII characters in length to the port profile. This description is automatically pushed to vCenter Server. |
Step 4 |
show port-profile [brief | expand-interface | usage] [name profile-name]
Example: n1000v(config-port-prof)# show port-profile name AllAccess1 |
(Optional) Displays the configuration for verification. |
Step 5 |
copy running-config startup-config
Example: n1000v(config-port-prof)# copy running-config startup-config |
(Optional) Saves the running configuration persistently through reboots and restarts by copying it to the startup configuration. |
EXAMPLES
This example shows how to create a new port profile:
n1000v(config)# port-profile type ethernet AllAccess1
n1000v(config-port-prof)# description all_access
n1000v(config-port-prof)# show port-profile name AllAccess1
evaluated config attributes:

Configuring VMware Attributes
You can use this procedure to designate a port profile as a VMware port profile.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Before beginning this procedure, you must know or do the following:
•You are logged in to the CLI in EXEC mode.
•You know if you will configure the VMware port group with the same name as the port profile or if you will specify an alternate name for the VMware port group.
•The vmware max-ports command is available only for non-uplink profiles.
•You know if you want to restrict the maximum number of ports that can be assigned to the port profile. If so, you know what the maximum number is.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. config t
2. port-profile [type {ethernet | vethernet}] name
3. vmware port-group [pg_name]
4. vmware max-ports number
5. show port-profile [brief | expand-interface | usage] [name profile-name]
6. copy running-config startup-config
DETAILED STEPS
|
|
|
Step 1 |
config t
Example: n1000v# config t n1000v(config)# |
Enters global configuration mode. |
Step 2 |
port-profile [type {ethernet | vethernet}] name
Example: n1000v(config)# port-profile AccessProf n1000v(config-port-prof)# |
Enters port profile configuration mode for the named port profile. If the port profile does not already exist, it is created using the following characteristics: •name—The port profile name can be up to 80 characters and must be unique for each port profile on the Cisco Nexus 1000V. •type—(Optional) The port profile type can be Ethernet or vEthernet. Once configured, the type cannot be changed. The default is the vEthernet type. Defining a port profile type as Ethernet allows the port profile to be used for physical (Ethernet) ports. In the vCenter Server, the corresponding port group can be selected and assigned to physical ports (PNICs). Note If a port profile is configured as an Ethernet type, then it cannot be used to configure VMware virtual ports. |
Step 3 |
vmware port-group [pg_name]
Example: n1000v(config-port-prof)# vmware port-group n1000v(config-port-prof)# |
Designates the port profile as a VMware port group. The port profile is mapped to a VMware port group of the same name unless you specify a name here. When you connect the VSM to vCenter Server, the port group is distributed to the virtual switch on the vCenter Server. |
Step 4 |
vmware max-ports num
Example: n1000v(config-port-prof)# vmware max-ports 5 n1000v(config-port-prof)#
|
Designates the maximum number of ports that can be assigned to this non-uplink port profile. The default is 32 ports. When the specified maximum number of ports is reached, no more ports can be assigned. |
Step 5 |
show port-profile [brief | expand-interface | usage] [name profile-name]
Example: n1000v(config-port-prof)# show port-profile name AccessProf |
(Optional) Displays the configuration for verification. |
Step 6 |

Configuring Port Mode
You can use the following procedures to designate trunking or access ports and configure VLANs for an existing port profile.
•Configuring a Trunking Profile
•Configuring an Access Profile
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Before beginning the procedures in this section, you must know or do the following:
•You are logged in to the CLI in EXEC mode.
•You know whether you are configuring the port profile as an access port or trunk port.
–An access port transmits packets on only one untagged VLAN. You can specify the VLAN, and it becomes the access VLAN. If you do not specify a VLAN for an access port, that interface carries traffic only on the default VLAN 1.
–A trunk port transmits untagged packets for the native VLAN and transmits encapsulated, tagged packets for all other VLANs.
•You know the needed VLAN configuration for this port profile.
•A VLAN must already be created on the switch before you can assign it to a port profile.
•You know the VLAN ID for the VLAN that you are assigning.
•VLAN 1 is the default VLAN. You cannot create, modify, or delete this VLAN.
•In accordance with the IEEE 802.1Q standard, up to 4094 VLANs are supported. Table 2-3 describes the available VLAN ranges and their use.
Table 2-3 VLAN Ranges
|
|
|
1 |
Normal |
Cisco default. You can use this VLAN, but you cannot modify or delete it. |
2-1005 |
Normal |
You can create, use, modify, and delete these VLANs. |
1006-4094 |
Extended |
You can create, name, and use these VLANs. You cannot change the following parameters: •State is always active. •VLAN is always enabled. You cannot shut down these VLANs. |
3968-4047 and 4094 |
Internally allocated |
These 80 VLANs, plus VLAN 4094, are allocated for internal device use. You cannot create, delete, or modify any VLANs within the block reserved for internal use. |
Configuring a Trunking Profile
You can use this procedure to define a trunking port profile including the VLANs that are allowed on the interfaces.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Before beginning this procedure, you must know or do the following:
•You are logged in to the CLI in EXEC mode.
•You have already created the port profile using the "Creating a Port Profile" procedure.
•You know the needed VLAN configuration for this port profile and that it is to be used in trunk mode.
•A VLAN must already be created on the switch before you can assign it to a port profile.
•You know the supported VLAN ranges described in Table 2-3.
•If you do not configure allowed VLANs in this procedure, then the default VLAN 1 is used.
•If you do not configure a native VLAN in this procedure, then the default VLAN 1 is used.
